When August 11, 2022

where: Dierenpark de Oliemeulen Tilburg, the Netherlands

To say Sjors unnerved me, and I unnerved him just a little might be an understatement.

I did not pet him, I did not have food for him, but I did hold a shiny black eye aimed in his direction. He had an easily spiked tail and dangerous back end that he could turn my way - and the camera's - in the blink of an eye and emit a noxious scent.

No dangerous situation ensued though I dare say we grew to trust each other's relatively slow movements

Species: Striped Skunk (Gestreept stinkdier)

Latin name: Mephitis Mephitis

Originates from North America.

Current status: Least Concern
